“ Subaru and another automaker, Kia, have been especially aggressive in resisting the law. While other companies are counting on a long-running federal lawsuit to overturn the statute, Kia and Subaru opted to shut off the features in their vehicles that are covered by the law.”

Yep. I think you may be right, it’s EOL and probably doesn’t have any more updates available. I have a VM for when I need old Java, but I was going to need an older VM to run Flash, and that just wasn’t how I wanted to spend my time. :D

Even worse was one of mine last year that needed Flash. Apparently we neglected to update it. I can handle ancient Java, but trying to get Flash setup was going to be futile, so I just went to the data center.

I was not a reader as a kid. I just didn’t ever read books. But around age 13, I had to read a book for school. I picked up Eon at the library, and I read it, and actually wanted to read the whole thing.

After that I got my hands on every book he had written. Moving Mars is possibly the only book I ever read twice.

Later in life reading sci-fi is no longer an interest of mine, however his books were transformative for me.
